MN000672A01-E Enhanced Alert Tones Appendix B Enhanced Alert Tones Use the information in this appendix to create and configure alert tones that meet the requirements of your organization. Enhanced Alert Tones Overview The Enhanced Alert Tones feature increases the number of the alert tones that you can use with the dispatch console.
MN000672A01-E Appendix B: Enhanced Alert Tones NOTICE: Use commercially available sound editing software to modify or create customized .wav files for the enhanced alert tone feature. If you formatted an enhanced alert tone according to the listed specifications and the dispatch console cannot use it, your sound editing software may have saved the alert tone in a non- standard .wav format which the dispatch console cannot process.
Page 161
MN000672A01-E Appendix B: Enhanced Alert Tones For example, to override the predefined alert tone 15 with a custom file, save the custom file in the customized folder with the name AlertTone15.wav. To restore access to the predefined alert tone, remove the custom alert tone file from the customized directory. Separate directories for the predefined alert tones and the custom alert tones make it easy to replace and restore the predefined alert tones.
Page 162
MN000672A01-E Appendix B: Enhanced Alert Tones • The loaded .elt is not configured for a specific alert tone. Restore the alert tone in the customized folder and you want to use it in the loaded .elt configuration. After you restore the alert tone, perform appropriate configuration in the Elite Admin application and reload the .elt file.
Page 163
MN000672A01-E Appendix B: Enhanced Alert Tones • If for any of the Motorola alert tones, there is a counterpart in the folder with custom alert tones, the custom alert tone is mapped instead of the Motorola alert tone. As the result, the number of alert tones that can be available for dispatchers is 15 or less. The available alert tones can be either Motorola alert tones or custom alert tones, or both types.
